About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighbourhood gem

Parquet is warm, stylish and casually elegant. Located on a cherished corner on Harbord Street, Parquet blurs the line between a neighbourhood favourite and a Toronto destination: relaxed and down to earth, yet refined and cosmopolitan.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Zachary Darke

From the OpenTable editors: Casual French dishes are reimagined with Toronto produce and global flavors at this elegant Harbord bistro. Dig into cassoulet simmered in ramen broth made from local pork, and broccolini sauced with salsa macha. Or post up at the striking marble bar and make an evening out of oysters and Champagne.

Service was fantastic! I found the shrimp small plate extremely salty; the mushroom pasta was good but extremely rich. I would order it again. One son had the burger which he said was okay. The other son had two small plates and he enjoyed them. The patio was nicely covered with a nice cross breeze. FYI - You need sun glasses around 7pm due to the sun’s level as it hits at eye level. The server brought my son a dessert with candle to celebrate his birthday which I appreciated.

This has become one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. The food is consistently superb, and even though there menu isn't particularly vegetarian-friendly, I keep going back. Everything about this place is special, from the elegant bistro ambience to the attentive and informed service to the exquisite food. Parquet is in a class by itself.

Loved it! The mains were excellent and our wine was great. The pâté was extremely good, but the onion tart was only ok; we felt the caramelized taste overpowered the leek. Price was what we expected for a fancy date night, though of course we couldn't do it all the time. Beautiful atmosphere.

Had a lovely evening out with friends. We started out sharing the Ontario greens and grilled shrimp. Definitely recommend. Everyone ordered the Terrace hamburger, which was a huge hit. I ordered the halibut filet laid atop the seasonal succotash. Absolutely a beautiful piece if fish. The service and ambiance was lovely. We all would absolutely recommend a visit to Parquet. A true gem.

Our expectations were high and they were met. The food was top notch, serving sizes not too small, the service was solid and the noise level was modest. Look forward to returning!

Food was great, but service was pretty weak. We were sat on the patio for a 9pm reservation and were rushed off the patio while the staff closed up the patio around us. Left a bad taste in our mouth considering we spent a reasonable amount of money on our meal and cocktails. Food was great and no complaints there - really wish they provided better service.

Our first time dining with Parquet and we had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Ambience is cozy and classic, and the staff (bar and service) were all friendly from the get go. We appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was with both food and beverage options and we confidently opted for some of their recommendations. The shrimp risotto small plate and the hamachi crudo were perfection. The steak frites was reasonably priced and tasty. Not to mention the pain au lait. It’s a must, you won’t regret it! We will definitely be back to explore and enjoy more. Thanks again for having us!
